"Everyone knows of my admiration for Pep Guardiola," Alves told Brazilian media outlet 'O Globo'.

"Leaving Juve on a free transfer? I don't know what's happening. Have I asked to leave? I've left the work to my agents, and they've said they'd talk to me once they found a resolution.

"If I go, it will be without any conflicts, without any problems, as opposed to what's being said." he added.

Alves is currently on holiday in Brazil and attended a children's charity function organized by his national teammate Neymar on Thursday.
